No, it's an alternative WM to JWM. It includes a file manager called Thunar, though earlier versions apparently used ROX, and there are threads elsewhere on how to use ROX-Filer with Xfce. (The miost glaring lack in Thunar is no easy way to create symlinks within it.)

No, it's an alternative desktop environment to Gnome and KDE (and all the other alternatives)
Since it is a DE it has a filer, a WM, a panel, a desktop configuration thingy, a terminal emulator, a process manager, a text editor, a mixer... even a browser (in theory). Has anyone tried midori lately?_________________DEATH TO SPREADSHEETS

Beware the demented serfers!

just something I'd like to add - for flash and otherrrs who might not be familiar with xfce ...
it also happens to (in my experience) play very nicely with the whole compiz / compiz-fusion environment - and it's probably the most light-weight desktop available that does so (erm, unless anyone know otherwise)
and, well, it's purty darn nice even by itself anyways.

I have managed to install xfce and the libs, but im having problems editing the xinitrc file. I've attached it for reference. Im using your release of BoxPup, and I love it, i'd just like to be able to use compiz with it. (why im installing xfce).
The areas you said to comment out i couldn't find. I commented out what looked to be similar and then added your commands, but that ended up giving me an endless loop when trying to start xorg or xvesa.
Any help would be appreciated!

Anyone able to help me out with this? Im sure the solution isnt that difficult, im just not exactly clear on what to do since my xinitrc is different from the example.
Thanks.

Hi, I've just installed it and it works well, very nice fonts too so thanks again. I've seen XFCE described as "Windows 98 done right" and it certainly seems that way.

The only change I'd make is to the theme and wallpaper; the default ones are certainly dramatic but a bit "heavy" to use all the time. It'd be good to have a pet of themes for XFCE like there are for JWM and IceWM.
